Photographer Martin Klimas took photos of paint sputtering upwards from a scrim, just above speakers blasting Miles Davis, Kraftwerk and Steve Reich, boom crash splash. At the shutter speeds of 1/7,000th of a second, you can see the sound vibrations and the visual catharsis of a bursting crescendo. Wow.

Miles Davis. And Kraftwork. Ooh, the notes, the colors.

With a Hasselblad, this German artist most known for freeze-shots of exploding figurines has poured six months and 18.5 gallons of paint into the project. Pretty great stuff.

Below this gallery, are things you don’t want to think about when looking at these because they will most definitely sully your experience.

Ready?

Do not compare these to: Jackson Pollock, the Blue Man Group, ejaculate. Don’t do it.
